Rutgers Voices

I like good investments. There’s something about investing in what goes on at Rutgers church — to see the return that occurs when we find ways to make gifts to organizations that give of themselves, of their talent and expertise — in our community and city and in the world — and make things happen. To me, that is enough right there to justify my giving to Rutgers church: because we make good investments.

Rutgers’ youth group is called S.K.A.T.E. (Sanctuary for Kids of Acceptance, Trust, and Education). It is open to youth 13 years of age through seniors in high school and (usually) meets the first Friday of every month during the school year. Activities include:

overnights at the church

out of the city retreats

service projects

fun activities throughout the city

and much more!

We also offer a Sunday School class called S.K.A.T.E. Breakfast. Fellowship and breakfast happens from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by a time of Christian Education during the worship hour. On Communion Sundays, youth come up together to worship with the congregation after their fellowship time.

It’s time to get out the lab coats and sneakers at Vacation Bible School! Rutgers Presbyterian Church invites children ages 4-11 to join us for a week (or two) of playtime, fun time, and Bible time! This year, we’ll be opening our hearts and minds to worship and play with the themes “Peace Lab” and “Community Playground ” Join us as we hear stories about the peacemakers and learn how to be in community with each other. It will be a time of songs, scripture, games, crafts, and more. To register your child for one or both weeks, please complete the online or printable application and submit it along with the weekly registration fees. Remember: each child needs their own registration form submitted. If there are any questions, please feel free to contract our Pastoral Fellow for Youth and Families, Rev. Ashley DeTar Birt, at ashley@rutgerschurch.org or (212) 877-8227, ext. 205.
